Rome didn’t fall until 1453. Let’s be real - Justinian and Theodora >>>> like Caracalla.

Theodora was such a baddie that even while Precopius was trying to cancel he was clearly gooning.

If you don’t look at an icon and feel a little twinge of desire to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy, what are you?

Constantinople was so bussin’ that even loser crusaders got jealous.

C’mon they had chariot racing sport teams, and people would riot when their team lost - the Nike riots killing a fuckton of people. Like modern soccer fans, they took athletics very seriously!

It’s time to bring the true Roman Empire back!
